Europe is not a saint - it bought liquefied natural gas from Russia "much more than the Trump-Putin diesel deal will ever bring" - NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said this when he spoke of Europe's "panic" due to the diesel deal between the presidents of the United States and Russia. He also said that ending the war in Ukraine would create a threat to Europe represented by the Russian armed forces. "Right now the Russian threat is not directly on our border because many of these troops are deployed in Ukraine. But if it ends, their huge army will not stand there just to be a huge army."
